February 2015

Hey everyone it’s Deven Luca and I’m coming at you with a quick Koufuku Graffiti post. I was bored and I wanted to check something about Maaya Sakamoto and Fate/Grand Order. So when I looked at that I wanted to check out the lyrics. And with some help from Satsu-Nyan from Seiyuuri giving me the website I was able to find them.

And with that it’s tragically over. You have to say that Maaya Sakamoto is an awesome singer.

So until the next post,

Role Reversal. The act of taking on a role of another and walking in their shoes. This is the situation that our cute and moe protagonists find themselves in

Like that? I’ve been reading and watching a lot of Date A Live preparing for a post.

So we start off this episode with Ryo eating some fish.

Looks good. Makes me wish I didn’t have chicken tonight.

So after the opening(I plan to have a post that goes over the lyrics soon.) we have the entire class outside sketching. And it’s autumn now so it’s a lot cooler than summer.

It must be at the beginning of September. You know that part of September where you can still get away with wearing shorts, tanktops, and stuff like that. Then that first cold snap hits then you’re caught outside freezing your butt off because you thought it was going to be warm.

Anyway…

Ooh a fish cookout. Normally I’d say fish fry because of all that clever alliteration but they aren’t frying the fish, they barbecuing it.

So what do you say girls?

You guys are so easy to read. So turns out that Shiina’s relatives send them way too much saury than they can eat and most of it goes to waste and the cats come around because they love the smell.

Ryo gets pumped because they’ll be cooking on a clay charcoal brazier. It’s small little thing that cooks one fish at a time.

But Shiina isn’t having any of that.

Ehh? No Ryo cooking? Then what did I come here for?

Turns out that Kirin is a big freeloader with Ryo. Ryo does all the cooking, all the setup, and all the dishes while Kirin sits around watching TV or reading. It would have been great to know what she was reading though.

So with that we go to next week. Kirin leaves to go help Shiina with the cooking while Ryo says home and relaxes…or at least that’s the plan.

Unfortunately you can’t put two cute girls in the kitchen and magic happen so Shiina asks Tsuyuko to help out with their cooking. While they’re cooking, Ryo comes over to Shiina’s place because she can’t just sit at home.

So Shiina and Kirin finish cooking the Saury and give the first fish they cooked.

Looks like it’s good.

Ouch right in the confidence but it’s more important that Ryo liked it because they were cooking for her.

It’s true. Always alone for two years. That was Ryo. It’s hard to depend on others when you’ve always been alone.

And we end the episode with Ryo and Kirin cooking some leftovers at home.

Hmm not as much orgasmic eating but I like it. I can’t wait for the next episode.

Until next episode,

Alright! Let’s go into this episode and see what A-1 can give us this week!

Deven watches the episode.

I knew it couldn’t last…

So kind of a bad episode. Not very good stuff.

The idea is simple. Lucy, Natsu and Happy have to get this ice called Hakobe Ice from the top of the freezing Mt. Hakobe near Magnolia.

I don’t know if it’s near or not but the way they talk about it’s like it’s a day trip away.

Anyway after taking shelter in a nearby cave they find out that cave changes shape so it’s impossible to get out.

After walking around for hours upon days, three to be precise, the three of them pass out and start hallucinating. Natsu’s eating, Happy’s eating fish, and Lucy’s taking a hot bath. Except all they’re doing is eating ice and jumping into a ice cold water naked. Funny.

So they manage to get their wits about them and find the ice but they have to fight some type of ice octopus thing. But since they’ve got no energy Natsu’s got to eat the ice to beat the thing. Then they’ve got to do the entire thing again. Ah being Lucy is suffering.

And that’s the end of the episode. Not really all that good. It’s too simple and didn’t really have a lot that was worth looking at.

Compared to this week, Fairy Tail episode, Isuca is way better. And now we know why the name is Isuca

So we start off the episode by Nadeshiko explaining that’s Shin’s got this ability called the Eye of Truth.

So all he needs is a kiss or for someone to kiss him? How did he find out the sword’s name? Oh he had it in his mouth. He’s like a baby. He learns about the world by putting stuff in his mouth. There are so many more jokes that I do but they might be dirty.

So after school we go to Sakuya’s house and while Shin’s making dinner Sakuya gets angry because using the same dishes will be a indirect kiss. Sweetie it doesn’t work like that.

So the next day we find out that Suseri brought in a lot of folks from the Shimazu family to check some stuff out the school but Sakuya ain’t liking it. But her grandma says get over it basically.

Then when we finally get into the action that mage from the last few episodes calls up a wall monster and uses some of the Shimazu folk as hostages.

It takes some time to talk her into it but finally Sakuya beats the monster but unfortunately all the Shimazu people died in the walls. And then that mage mocks her for it. Now that’s just cruel.

So going off without thinking Sakuya and the others run into a trap and get caught by a Spider or rather a Jorogumo. She and Shin get caught up with it and the only way out is for Shin to give her a boost but she doesn’t want him to find out her True Name. So with their lives on the line, Shin forces the kiss on her and Sakuya gets powerful enough to beat the Jorogumo and he learns Sakuya’s true name is Isuca just like the anime.

So with that the episode ends. I just got to wonder why doesn’t want her true name being known. It’s obvious that she’s half Japanese and half something else. I guess we’ll find out in the next episode.

Until then,

That first scene! Also it’s still summer in the anime! Go to autumn! I’m tired of feeling jealous

So we start off with this scene…

Food porn indeed. You saw the way that she had the ice cream in her mouth. You can’t say that was implying something.

Anyway after the opening we flash to the girls who are getting tired of summer.

Which is completely standard no matter where you live or how long your summer break is. Those last few weeks of August I while I was in middle school and high school I was begging to go back to school…then I got there and started asking when was winter break.

Hahaha

Anyway they go outside and Kirin starts screaming about the heat which is to be expected since the Japanese blast the AC to the maximum.

So Ryo and Kirin say bye to Shiina and start heading back home. What?! No Shiina this episode. Aw she’s cute and I love her snark. How can I go on?

So while walking home, Kirin says that she wants something cool to eat but Ryo says that she needs a proper meal.

Looks like pigs started flying and hell froze over. This girl cannot not be hungry…I don’t even know what I just said…darn double negatives.

Anyway after Ryo gets a picture to capture this moment, she suggests that they eat some broiled eel over rice to boost up their stamina. Yeah that will send those lazy days away!

Looks like you’ve got someone’s attention, Ryo.

So the girls go shopping and have a good time. I really like these little parts. Also as much I don’t like to admit it, I like grocery shopping. I like cooking too. I’d like to say it’s not weird for a guy to like this stuff but I’m not sure.

So once they get home, Ryo gets cooking.

Lucky I just ate or I’d be ordering some Chinese at 11pm at night. The place near my place has late hours…still hungry.

So we can’t have eating scene in Koufuku Graffiti without the sexy eating scene.

You can’t get stuff like this anywhere else.

Looks like Kirin had a good time but it didn’t feel that craving she had.

This girl can truly eat but before Ryo can say something else the AC breaks down…in the middle of a Japanese summer. Those poor girls.

So what to do?

I like your ideas!

But unfortunately the bath isn’t full yet so they’ll have to wait. They decide to pass the time by playing Shiritori.

Note: Shiritori is a Japanese game where you say words that start with the same kanji that the word previous had.

That’s some good curry but they keep thinking of all hot stuff and get hotter.

So Ryo thinks of the idea to shower off the sweat…good idea!

Curses, damn the steam!

So once they get into the tub, Ryo talks about summers with her grandma and once she gets around to talking about ice cream…

Ice cream in the tub? Too weird. So Ryo goes to get the ice cream and gets caught up in the cool air from the freezer. It’s happened to best of us on a hot day.

After that Kirin comes out of the bath and realizes that the curtains are all open.

Haha yeah right. What is this? The 90s.

Deven puts away his telescope

So Kirin jumps in front of Ryo to protect her because apparently no one cares to look at flat chested girls when looking at the stacked for a 14 year old Ryo.

So they get the ice cream and get back into the bath.

Now if that isn’t blatantly sexual I’m just an idiot. Here’s another.

Come on!

So when they get out of the bath, Ryo asks if Kirin asks if she got what she wanted?

So after changing into their pajamas where Kirin gets a craving for red bean soup. I don’t really know this dish. I think it’s sweet because I know mochi is sweet and another name for azuki bean soup is sweet bean soup.

Looks yummy but why does she want a hot soup in the middle of summer?

Looks like that hit the spot. So with a little prodding from Kirin, Ryo has some too.

And during the night Shiina comes to bring some stuff to help out.

And ends up seeing Ryo with a massive stomachache from eating all that stuff. Predictably, Kirin’s alright. I’m one of those people that can eat anything. I once as a kid had some Ramen noodles and then right after had some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with grape soda. I was fine afterwards. Everyone else thought I was about to barf.

Anyway Shiina tells Ryo that she needs some sleep after trying to eat all that stuff.

After that Ryo heads to bed and Shiina stays a bit to eat some soup before leaving.

Then while she sleeps Ryo has a dream of her grandma.

Then we end the episode with Shiina walking home about to barf because she had too much soup.

And with that episode 6 is over. I can’t wait for the next episode to come out. It’s downloading as I do this review.

So until the next episode,

It’s summer in the anime and I’m chilling sodas in snowdrifts. When’s spring coming? Not just for all the awesome shows but for the freaking warmth!

Kirin must be high as a kite, thinking she’s a ninja and stuff. That’s a Fairy Tail joke.

So we start off the episode with that it’s summer, the season of relaxing and going to the beach.

Note: Japanese School Years have one month of summer break rather than three like most countries

So are our three cute girls relaxing at home or at the beach?

Too bad they can’t go. Darn Cram school. I swear they push these kids too hard for these exams. I took a placement test for my high school and got into 82% percent…if only I had gotten into the 85% percentile then I would have gotten a scholarship. Anyway I’m probably not a good example, I’m tragically naturally intelligent and have a brain that soaks up info like a sponge so I didn’t need to study much.

Anyway after class, Kirin’s sad that they aren’t doing anything during their last summer as middle schoolers.

And trust me you want to love it as much as you can because high school and college suck.

Alright!

And Shiina says that they can do any summer activity they want over there!

Yes!

Party pooper.

So Ryo and Kirin go home and Kirin writes a list of all the stuff that she wants to do over Shiina’s house.

That’s a lot of stuff. You do remember you’re in the middle of Tokyo right?

We aren’t Tokyo anymore are we?

So this is Shiina’s place…she lives in a mansion!

We also meet this lady who gives Kirin a tomato…who then eats it like it’s an apple

As they go through place, Kirin keeps crossing off more and more stuff. Man Shiina’s rich.

We meet Shiina’s mom and she’s about the exact opposite of Shiina. She’s so genki and cute. How did Shiina come out of that?

So later in the day the girls get hungry so Shiina’s mom says that they can make some Somen noodles. Those are basically cold noodles that are dipped in a broth. I’ve heard from a cousin of mine’s that gone to a ramen shop that they’re delicious…he should take me next time. He didn’t give me anything for my birthday…

Anyway to make the Somen you’ve got to have some bamboo for the water to flow through. Where are we going to find bamboo in the middle of Tokyo?

Then they meet up with Shiina’s maid, Tsuyuko and she helps them cut down the bamboo and make the noodles in the kitchen.

Okay now that looks pretty cool. The Japanese know how to make food! It looks fun.

Also I feel the need to say this.

She’s putting the dish right up at the camera and explains what’s she’s doing. It’s like she’s on a cooking show.

So after they make and eat the noodles…Kirin ate most of them…where does it all go?

Shiina’s mom thanks them for coming and explains that she was the one that asked for them to come over. Turns out Shiina’s been a lot more open and happy since she’s been spending time with Kirin and Ryo.

So once the sun goes down, they put up some Tanzaku for Tanbata, set off fireworks, smash watermelons, and set up paper lanterns so looks like Kirin did everything on her list…how? Just how?

Another good episode of Koufuku Graffiti . I can’t wait for the next episode.

So until the episode,

I’ve been really thinking of some stuff. Money’s tight…well not super tight at my place. We have money to get me back and forth to school and cash to eat and pay bills. And that’s all I should really ask for right?

I admit that it might be selfish of me to want more. After all my Needs are taken care of. Is it right to have Wants when my Needs are taken care of?

I’d like to think it’s okay. After all over the course of a month I go to school five days a week for at least three hours, write papers for school, write at least 12 reviews per month, side posts on the blog, manage my Twitter, look for a job, write my book, keep up with family and old friends, cook, and do chores. I rarely get to sleep before 11 and I still feel like I haven’t made a dent into the stuff that I want to do.

While my mother and my family taught me that it’s okay to be happy, I always thought that it was important to sacrifice a bit of yourself to be there for others. I always thought that I had a responsibility to others before myself. However I’m starting to wonder if that’s okay. After all, I’m not saying I’m suffering but I do give up a lot of stuff that I want to do to please others.

For example I want a new computer and a new tablet so I can restart my Love Live School Idol Festival posts as well as restart my Fuuka and Fairy Tail Zero reviews. I also want a 3DS so I can play Pokemon and Bravely Default to relax after a long day. However everytime I think of getting these things, I feel like I’m being selfish to others like my mother who need me.

But despite that, I want to do a few small things for myself. So I’ve been thinking of trying to do affliates on the blog again.

I think that the main reason it failed the last time is that I was trying to push people to buy by making specific posts for it. That in my opinion was bad and stupid.

Also I believe that I was going for the wrong product. Not to offend anyone but if you want to pay for a DVD/BD, you would but it’s just easier to download it. Why pay for something when you can get it for free?

So that’s why I signed up with PlayAsia.com again. And this time I’m going to be working with something that’s both cheaper and a bit more effective in pitching.

I’ll be pitching iTunes and Google Play giftcards as well as Nendoroids. I thought about it and realized that it would be easier to buy a $10, $15, or $25 iTunes or Google Play than a $50 DVD. And plus I’m more pandering to the Love Live School Idol Festival players who occasionally buy Love Gems.

As for the Nendoroids I actually got the idea from watching CuriousCloudy’s Fan Hauls on Youtube. Nendoroids are collectable and very cute and a lot of them are less than $50 on PlayAsia. So it’s pretty easy to work with.

So that’s my decision. Some of the posts like the ones for the Fate series, Date A Live, and Love Live will be pitching Nendoroids while the other posts will be pitching iTunes and Google Play cards.

Before I end off the posts, I just want to say that all of this isn’t just a ploy to milk you of your money. The lion’s share of the money that this would make would go to the blog and if there’s anything left, I’d use it for myself or probably give it to SkyCorps for either blog maintainence or whatever he wants to do with it.

To be fair he deserves it. AnimeWithSky is nearly at 90,000 hits and hasn’t even been a year yet. I personally think we’ll hit 100K either a little before the year anniversary or a few weeks after. He’s a great Head Author and Admin.

Also I won’t be posting any affiliate links on AnimeWithSky. Like I’ve said a few times, I respect him too much to do that.

So I think that’s it.

Until another update or something else,

Yes! It’s finally here and even more important I finally have the time to talk about it.

So the first promo for the Love Live Movie that’s coming out in June is out. It’s not a long one. It’s only about 15 seconds. I’ve watched it about ten times or so and haven’t been able to get any more out of it than I already have.

The only good thing I see is the cute kimonos that the girls are wearing and that Eli’s the center. I guess that we can guess that Eli will either be a major focus of the movie or that the center in the songs that are going to be in the movie are going to switch off a bit. I want to go with the first one. Eli’s one of the more popular members of Muse but the anime never really showed all of it. She had a major focus in the first season but they didn’t really dig any deeper into her character. That’s what I want to happen in this movie.

So of course I can’t leave you without the promo so here!

Until we get some more news,

I’m beginning to think that Tamako’s antics along with the cute girls are carrying the story. I’m going to stay on though.

So we start off with this Samurai armor killing this dude.

Aw he died so young and he never had a name!

So after the opening we start off Sakuya practicing her arrow shooting. It’s good that she practices. How about giving back to the school and joining the archery team?

It looks like things are going good for them relationship wise but then Shin screws it by mentioning Suseri and then Sakuya gets all angry and feeling inferior because Suseri’s stacked and she’s flat as a pancake.

Hahaha then we switch to school and someone’s already here.

Sakuya must be hating life right now…

So then we switch over to gym class where all the second year guys are drooling over Suseri from the second floor and the girls are questioning why she’s so quiet.

Then we go to Nadeshiko’s class where Suseri explains that there’s another reason why she came to the school…other than to get Shin to come to her side.

So turns out that someone’s been opening the gates at the school and Suseri’s here to investigate and she’s got her suspect.

Ah that it explains why Sakuya’s a blond despite being Japanese. She must be half Japanese and half something else.

But the accusation that she might be involved pushes Sakuya to her limit.

And that ends that scene. When we come back, we’re at back at Sakuya’s home and she’s really mad and doesn’t even want to talk about Suseri.

So when it comes to eating dinner, she asks for Irish Stew for dinner. Irish Stew? Aren’t you Japanese? I’m guessin she’s half Japanese and half Irish.

And when she goes to her room she looks at that blue bird and says Father.

That’s what confuses me. How can she have a Irish father and Japanese mother but still have a Japanese name?

Anyway once they have dinner Sakuya goes all Tsundere on him but eats it anyway. I think that’s feeling sad right now. The accusation does more damage than the crime. Even if she didn’t do it then she’d still be looked at with suspecion.

So we switch over to Suseri’s side where she leaves on a sealing and tells her guards not to tell Sakuya…guess what happens to the guards…

There were no survivors…

So we go to the battle with samurai with Suseri and she’s losing bad. Well it’s bad because there’s so many of them. Lucky that Shin and company come along to help

Personally I think that neither of them should be head of the family. Think about it. Sakuya’ highly emotional and Suseri’s reckless.

Suseri walked right into this trap with only her attendant as her backup. If everyone else didn’t come then she’d be dead.

So when the group shows up, they get wrecked by the fact that they can die and the samurai don’t. So they’ve got to run away and get a new strategy. They figure out that the samurai is actually a golem controlled by someone.

They knock off the helmet of the samarai and yay the day is saved!

Not really…

And Sakuya goes crazy because the sword’s cursed by this lady…

She goes after Shin but he blocks her and seals the sword by using its true name…hmm I’m guessing he needs to kiss something to get its true name.

And with that the episode’s ended.

I’m not against this show but it’s not that bad. It’s just not as good as it could be. I’m going to stick with it because something keeps drawing me back.

So until the next episode,
